Answer 1

To find the distance the plane travels in one week from New York City to Boston, we can multiply the distance the plane travels in one day by the number of days in a week. The estimated answer is 2415 miles, and the exact answer using rounding or place value is also 2415 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance the plane travels in one week, we can multiply the distance the plane travels in one day (from New York City to Boston) by the number of days in a week. According to the chart, the distance from Boston, MA to Rochester, NY is 345 miles. Since this is the distance from New York City to Boston, we can use this number to represent the distance the plane travels in one day.

To find the distance in one week, we can multiply this distance by 7 (the number of days in a week). So, the estimated answer is 345 miles/day × 7 days/week = 2415 miles.

To find the exact answer, we can use rounding or place value to work with the given numbers. In this case, the number of miles from Boston, MA to Rochester, NY is 345. Since this is the distance from New York City to Boston, we can multiply 345 by 7 to get the exact distance in one week: 345 miles/day × 7 days/week = 2415 miles.

The strategy used is multiplication to find the distance in one week.
